I believe the political system of germay is a parliamentary democrocy. Meaning that it is a democratic form of governemt to which the party (or a coalition of parties) is the greatest repersentation in the legislature and this forms the government, and its leader becoming prime minister or a chancellor.
Reign of Terror also known as the Great Fear (La Grande Peur), although it didn't start until September 1793. I couldn't find anything else to fit that time frame.
